It is unnecessary to place a hatnote on this article pointing to Control (disambiguation). The title "Control (2007 film)" is so specifically disambiguated that there is little chance of a reader having arrived at the article looking for some other meaning of the word "control". Per Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Usage guidelines:

There is no need to add disambiguation links to a page whose name already clearly distinguishes itself from the generic term. For example, Solaris (1972 film) is clearly about one specific movie and not about any of the many other meanings of "Solaris". It is very unlikely that someone arriving there from within Wikipedia would have been looking for any other "Solaris", so it is unnecessary to add a link pointing to the Solaris disambiguation page. However, it would be perfectly appropriate to add a link to Solaris (novel) (but not, say, Solaris (operating system)) to its "See also" section.

I know the disambiguation policy However there is a problem which you may not be aware of where in many areas such as where I am, googling control only brings up your movie article with no way to access other wikipedia articles apart from using the fairly inadequate Wikipedia search or otherwise guessing what wikipedians have named a particular thing. The interaction of google's policies and zealous wikipedians deleting such necessary links results in many pages becoming practically unreachable by a large number of people. Please do not remove the link again Thank youGloryshookthiswater (talk) 21:32, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
